Episodes
Episode 1
Every year more than 150 million accidents occur in the UK. Over 40% of them occur in our homes, which are statistically the most dangerous place to be. Meanwhile, A&E departments have seen a 14% rise in sports injuries. And, on average, Britons will be involved in two road traffic collisions in their lifetime, with roads the place where you're most likely to die in an accident. An ambulance crew are despatched to a rural area where a man has chopped through his foot with an axe while cutting firewood. The patient, John, is an amputee because of a biking accident, but says 'I think I'll still do things that are dangerous, it hasn't changed me at all.' Another crew respond to a Saturday afternoon call-out to help the victim of an injury incurred while playing rugby.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
